Abstract
Wooden structures such as shipwrecks were adequately preserved in the Baltic Sea from shipworm attacks for centuries. The low sea water temperate and low salinity kept these wooden artefacts safe from the attacks of the wood borers (such as Teredo navalis), thus saving an important part of the national heritage from destruction and eventual lost.
